To recognize high-achieving Mary Frances Early College of Education students, the Marketing and Communications Office features “Amazing Student” profiles on the College’s website and social media channels.
We encourage faculty and staff members who work closely with students to submit a nomination using the Mary Frances Early College of Education Amazing Student nomination form. If the criteria are met, a marketing and communications team member will contact the student about how to submit the profile.
Note: Students must be majoring in the College of Education to qualify.
Nominees can be amazing students for a variety of reasons, but we’re looking for well-rounded students whose accomplishments extend beyond the classroom. There needs to be something—preferably multiple factors—that makes the nominee stand out. The nominator can provide details in the nomination form, but the primary criteria are:
- Outstanding academic credentials
- Scholarship (research and/or creative activity)
- Honors and awards
- Community service
- Leadership positions
- Significant participation in student organization(s)
- Overcame major obstacles to succeed in college
- Volunteer/service-learning work
- Other related factors will be considered, but they must relate directly to the student’s work or involvement at UGA
